if any problem just ask

RE: concrete with fibers (steel or syntetic)

I'm looking for a reinforced concrete that is capable of withstanding tensile stresses of 8-10 MPa and that can be used for thin walled constructions, do you have some info?

RE: concrete with fibers (steel or syntetic)

We manufacture steel fibre reinforced concrete products in Ireland and have considerable experience in the use of the material.  The value you quote is high.  Is that a failure load, working load etc?

Is that flexural tension or direct tension?

What is the rate of application of the stresses?

Consequenses of failure?

How thin is thin?

Blending fibres can reduce crack development.  Some work done there in Canada and USA

Is redistribution of stress (post plastic behaviour) acceptable?

Is durability an issue?

What are the proposed end uses?

Will be pleased to discuss further
